Been looking at our team stats the last few days and we've got back over 300,000 average and done 374,919 in the last 24 hours! I know I'm still new to this but its a good increase. Hopefully I'm making a good contribution :D
 
I think so, we have our ups and downs, need to get my FAH rig up and running again, but I think we need more help, maybe a link on the overclockers home page to this forum ;)

Haha if only I was permitted to do that. I've been folding everday since last Thursday, on my rig at home (2x 480's and 970) and then on my 875K and 260GTX. Storming through the ranks atm, gonna get some bigadvs folding kater I think.
 
Sounds good, I have free Electric at the moment, but the power supply on my rig has died, and cant afford to replace it... need 600w I think since I am running a Q6600 and 2 x 8800GTXs

Stelly

Yeah 600w minimum. I'd go for a Corsair 750w tbh, got 2x pci 6 pin and 2x pci 6+2 pins, so enough connections and future proofing for more powerful cards and setup (i7 480 sli :p)
 
I think you should do some temporary good deals on PSUs and GPUs for us foldy types.

Unrelenting deals questions are unrelenting. Lolz, no man I can't do that for you. I can clock your rig up for you if you bring it in, but I can't give you cheap stock :p

Back on topic, we just need get our average PPD to over 400K and we're sorted! (for now:D)
 
Thats what I was thinking the Seti guys are running some serious hardware so would give us a huge increase in PPD

surely there cant be an NDA on them as they're being used in OEM systems? would make a nice little upgrade for my rig and possibly lower power draw a little as I suspect my chip is very hungry

I think you mean the 1055t 95W edition? These cannot be sold as a single item they have to be in a system/bundle. AMD's rules.
 
the banter is epic.

nath is having a cry because he doesnt get to test hardware all day ;)

LOLZ well now that both of my big advs have failed. Yes thats right BOTH!

USS:Your boy. Is back online folding both GPU's and SMP, so my PPD should be a lot better now. My score this week has been so inconsistant!
 
That's why I gave up on bigadv. It was just too unstable. Sometimes it would work fine for weeks and then, all of a sudden, it would just refuse to keep running - often killing WUs after two days of Folding :mad:

Nice to see a bit of banter and some competition - helps morale and keeps us amused :D

Indeed, at first I was like "Woah 75points for 1 WU!!!" but then everything crashed, died and went horribly wrong. Even with a 6 core I7 Bigadv is a ballache as you have to dedicate your rig solely to the cause!

SMP and GPU for me. Another 480 will probably emerge at some point however! :D
 
The new arrivals have defiantly spawned new levels of banter and competition. i've never been stomped so frequently. Im being pushed out of the top 20 quite quickly

Yet more excuses! We all need to pull our fingers out and trash some teams! We have nearly every overclocked bundle running Folding when we can, cant get much better than that!
 
our entire rack is folding today

i currently have:

2x i7 980X @4.2GHz
4X i7 930 @4GHz
3X i5 760 @ 4GHz
4x GTX 480 @ 800MHz
3x GTX 460 @ stock
1x GTX 470 @ stock

and more are going on in a bit.
i failed the bigadv that was due this morning so im fairly annoyed about that.

It is so warm in technical, it is unbelievable. I need to break the 30K PPD average barrier. rjk is going for number 1 place I think :p
